How can I punish a hacker?although no damage was done <- so what's the point in seeking punishment? pride? personally I'd be happy if someone broke onto my servers but did no damage — I can patch the vulnerability before someone else does cause damage thanks to him.

How does hacking work?(This is also one of the reasons why PHP has such a bad rep among more experienced devs)
